It is strange that the remains of the
discoverer of America, Christopher
Columbus, need to be searched after to
discover them. A telegram from St. l\>-
mingo, Jan. 17, says:
On the 26th ult. the Spanish steamer
Alcantara arrived there from Havana,
bringing a commission appointed by the
Spanish government to examine a box
supposed to contain the remains of
Christopher Columbus. The examina
tion was permitted after many formali
ties had been gone through with. The
box was removed from the place of its
deposit, the seals broken and the inscrip
tion cloaely examined. The bones were
scrupulously inspected and photograph*
taken of the remains. Several physicians
were present.
In last week's Reporter we noticed
the arrest of Wilson who wrote letters
in all directions to individuals that s
relative had died and asking $28,50 for
board and funeral expenses. The par
ticulars of the arrest are given by an ex
change: Persona believing that it was
possibly a dead relative, responded, and
money orders began to pour into the
post office at Sidney so Cast that it taxed
the capacity of the office to pay them.
Postmaster Dudley looked upon this ex
tensive business with suspicion, and at
last one mail brought several letter*
from Ohio, Pennsylvania and Tennes
see, making inquiries about one J. F.
Wilson, proprietor of tbe Sidney House.
Each succeeding mail brought more let
ters of the same tenor than the postmas
ter could possibly answer, a great many
of them incloeing tbe letter above des
cribed, with different names and ad
dresses substituted in each instance
The man who lifted the letters was a dis
reputable character, well known through
out the west, and when he rented a lock
box said it was for a friend, then absent
from town and whose name was J F.
Wilson. Postmaster Dudley, of Sidney,
co-operated with the authorities at Oma
ha, and set about to capture th# men
who were engaged in this mean confi
dence game. On Tuesday, the B'h,
preparations were made to arrest him as
he was lifting the mail, and Sheriff
Zweifel nabbed him. Enough evidence
was found in tbe half dozen letters of
the previous day's mail to settle the ne
farious game he was playing beyond a
doubt. There were also papers which
showed his o* n name to be John C. I.ee
and by a little sharp manoeuvring on
the part of the officers the names of his
accomplice was obtained, and E. W.
Morgan was arrested. The Sidney, Ne
braska, "Telegraph" states thai there is
no Sidney House, with J. F. Wilson,
proprietor, and no man has ever died of
pneumonia in Sidney since it has been
founded.
The two priaonen were held under
SI,OOO bonds and taken to Omaha Fri
day night. It baa been a mystery how
this man obtained the names of those
whom he wished to victimize. John C.
Lee was for along time in the employ of
the famous and infamous Tattee, lottery
man, and it was while there that be got
the names He was the leader and i
principal offender in this case. Morgan
is said to be a young man, of whom the j
world bad a right to expect better
things.
New York city preachersare still dis
cussing the subject whether there is a
hell. On Sunday of last week Lfell was
the theme injnearly all the pulpits. The
Sun has summed up some of the ser
mons thus:
Tbe Rev. Mr. Frothingham, who
thicks the Bible no belter than any
other respectable book, is Daturaily as
tonished that anybody should be found
at this late day preaching Hell. 11 is,
he says, as though some monster of a by
gone age—an icbtbyoaaurus, for instance
—were to turn up, alive and vicious, on
tbe banks ot tbe Hudson. On the other
hand, tbe Rev. Mr. Rocbford, Roman
Catholic, affirms that it is the thought
of Hell that has peopled Heaven, and
maintains that the doctrine of everlast
ing torment ia taught not only by the
Church and the Scripture* hut by hu
man reaaon itself. The Rev. Mr. Hep
worth, formerly Unitarian, bat a pres
ent Congregationalism is troubled in soul
by some aspects of tbe doctrine, and
thinks it imprudent to be dogmatic as to
the duration of tbe torment wben there
is such a wide divergence of opinion
among scholars on that point, lo the
Rev. Mr. Ludlow, Reformed, the eud
lessness of punishment seems deducible
from analogy, as well as revealed in
Scripture, and the Uuiversalist* impress
him as absurd reasoners. That Hell
will continue forever is also the belief
of the Rev. Mr. Mann, Swedenborgian ;
but be explains that it will continue by
the cho'ce of the inmates, and that it is
really a hospital, ia which the self-in-
Hided sufferings of the wicked will be
mitigated, as far as it is possible for di
vine love and pity to mitigate them. Of
the Universalist preachers who discus
sed the subject yesterday, the Rev. Mr.
Pullman was sarcastic, and the Rev. Mr.
Nye was scholastic.

Brigham died rich leaving behind a
big estate and many wive* We often
wondered how a modern prophet could
gather in million* and Mill keep a targe
family. But Brighnm understood
crookedness as well ua some others. A
Salt lake correspondent of the Tribune
sava there is likely to be a wrangle soon
if I am correctly informed, over Brig
hnm Young's estate. All the A pot ties
• xcept Taylor and the three who are
acting ss the Prophet s executors, are
understood to be in favor of a rigid ex
amination of his financial huggcrnnig 1
ger, as Truslee-in-Truat Brighnm, and
Brighaui the individual, ami also of the
restitution to tha church of what he had
without consideration transferred from
himself, as church trustee, to himself as
Oititen Brigham. At the same time,
Mr. Kllerbeck. for many years Ins confi
dential agent offers to i pen a short cut
through the whole mate by pointing out
how the Prophet took (Yotn the church
by a few enormous grubs $2,. "",000. tine
of these was the famous settlement with
the church, by which be charged it in a
lump S.V\OOO a year for eighteen years
services as Prophet, Seer and Bevelator,
in other words as ecclesiastical "Boss."
At other times he charged the church
and credited himself with items of a
hundred thousand dollars or *0 on ac
count of the poor. No doubt the inves
tigation will te kept as still as possible
but Brigham Young's heirs will, of
course, resist, and the hated law vers will
have to tw called in. Those who are
defeated my be confidently expected to
reinforce the corps of apostates and gen
tiles in the Territory. It will he curi
ous, too, to see the Prophets administer
ing the estate of the chief Prophet, I y
branding him as a thief.
THE MA 7 THEWS SI I. YEli SI 11
The following is the Matthews Silver
bill as passed by the senate on Friday.
The resolution as passed reads as fo -
lows:
Rnobtii, By the senate |the house of
representatives concurring therein
That all the bonds of the I nilrd Slates
issued or authorised to be issued under
the said acta of congress hereinbefore
reiterated are pavable, principal and in
icrc-st, at tfie option of the government
of the United States, in silver dollars of
the coinage of the United States, con
taining 412J grains each of standard sil
ver. and that to restore to its coinage
such silver coins as a legal tender in pay
ment of said bonds, principal and inter
est, is not in violation of the public fait h
uor derogatory of the right of the public
credit.
SOME OE THE SEX ATE EXI'EX
The senate expenditures are very
queer. Tney buy almost any thing there
but dynamite, and that is just the arti*
Je that should he thrown in among
them sometimes. It would do mtieh to
clean out the chamber and make sena
tor* better members tl" they once knew
that dynamite would be used to punish
rookedness. The report of the Secre
tary of the Senate concerning the re
ceipts and expenditures of that body for
the fiscal year ending June 30, 1877, has
just been published. The year was
rather an exceptional one. and some of
the items of expense are interesting.
The disbursements for the year amount
ed to nearly a million of dollars. Tlte
Belknap impeachment trial cost $11,153.
The Capitol Police force othat part of it
paid for by the Senate) costs $21,500 a
year. The Committee on Privilege*and
Elections spent $95,212, which include
the expenses of the Electoral Count and
the Southern investigations. Senator
Jones'a book favoring the remonetiza
tion ofsilvercost 115,000. TheSergeant
at-Arms bought twenty-two revolvers
and ammunition to match at an expense
of more than |3OO, to be used in guard
ing the box containing the Electoral re
turns. Mr. Pinchback, who never was
a Senator, drew $16,965 as a reward for
his efforts to get a seat in the Senate.
Cold tea, lemons and granulated sugar
naed during the intensely hot monthsof
1876 cost $1,584, and ice during the same
summer about S3OO a month. Twelve
bottles of Martinique snuff furnished to
Senators during the year cost $9.
FAILURES.
According to theauthentic figures pre
sented by the Mercantile Agency of K.
G. Pun A Co., the failures in the United
States for the year 1577 are 5.872 injiura
ber, being 220 leas than for 18,t>, in
which vear*iere were 9,092. The total
liabili ie for 1877 are elated at $190,669,
000 against $191,117,000 in 1576, or bare
ly half a million of dollars less. Jt is a
significant fact, however, that the failu
res of 1877, although less in number and
amount than in 1876, are above the aver
age of the four years since the panic of
1873, while subsequent to the panics of
1857 and 1861 the progress toward pros
perity was steady and rapid.

SO IS.
The Cincinnati Enquirer, contains a
despatch, dated Bloomington, Intl., wan.
24, which says:
Mr.Thomas Minshall, ofl>ubuque, la.,
is in Indiana looking up evidence in the
interest of an extraordinary and im
mense claim against the Government,
which he will lay before Congress in a
few days. Mr. Minshail has been in the
vicinity of Vincennes the last few days,
and has in his possession a deed to the
greater portion of the fctate of Illinois,
made to his great-great-grandfather and
nineteen others at Fort Gage, in 1773, by
ten Indian chiefs. The deed is an an
cient looking document, and the signa
tures of the chiefs, some of'wbom sign
ed by a cross, and others by the repre
sentation of fish, bears' heads, Ac., were
witnessed by Hugh Lord, "commanding
ihe Illinois country" at that time, and
other officers of the British army at Fort
Cage. The instrument is very elaborate
the met&s and bounds of the land con
veyed particularly descril>ed. Tim con
sideration was about two tons of gun
flints, cloth for breech-clouts, oxen, Ac.,
each article of which is carefully set out
and was acknowledged at Kaskaskie he
fore Vteanr Lemerance, notary public,
and recorded in a record which is sup
| posed to lie ia England at this time.
The land dedJ is in two pieces, one
piece lying above Cairo and composing
the Southern part of Illinois, and the
other is in an irregular shape, taking in
tiie Western part of the State, from
■Springfield west, a place opposite the
mouUrofthe Missouri River, and a point
on Lak Michigan, near Chicago, being
mentioned.
Mr. Minshall has been looking up the
family ever since LByO, having knowl
edge that such a purchase was made by
his great-great-grandfather,au,J now has
a family tree as complete 111 alt :U parts
as the tree of consanguinity in Black
atone. He came into possession of the
deed by a remarkable accident a short
time ago, having found it deposited in a
bank a* a mere curiosity. He will soon
lay tbe matter before Congress, claiming
indemnity for tbe HUD), which the Gov
ernment disposed of to aittl J.ers, and says
there can be no doubt of hi* securing it,
as he has bad the opinion of scuiacpt
lawyers, Congressmen and Senator*.

stool firmly by the administration of
Mr. Madison in upholding the honor of
ths hag. The majority of her people re
tarded the attitude of Massachusetts to
wards the tietierul Government during
that struggle as thoroughly unpatriotic,
if not treasonable.
Hoar and ltawes, the Massachusetts
Senators, w ere indignant, and made sneh
defence as they could of the "crooked"
loyalty of their State sixty-five years
ago. Blaine pl.ived his part as matador
to perfection, drawing tliem on bv de
grees and taunts, until Pawos in a burst
of anger challenged ltlaine to mention
when nnd where Massachusetts had
made an unpatriotic record. This was
precisely the invitation Blaine had been
laving hi* truves for, and he burst out:
Sir. Blaine-^-1 will tell you. 1 will tell
you now ami here. Massachusetts re
fused to pass and tablet) a resolution
hanking one of her own naval otlieers
for a victory because it was gained in an
unjust war. She refused to thank the
admirable and gallant commander of
the Hornet for capturing the British
man of-war Peacock. That stands in
your own legislative journals, if yu
want the record. I can give you grater
instances until the sun seta,and for the
Senator from Maasat hum-its to ri-e here
and pretend thai his Slate did not bris
tle all over with unpatriotic records, g •
tng clear up to the v rge of treason, ami
in the opinion of mo pa!rg>t* of that

a degree of bravery which it would have

reserved to this day. iire.it laughter

Mr. I'.twcs—J!r. President, theexient
>f the offense which the Senator from
Mainecan bring against Massachusetts
in the war of ISI2 was that she lacked
adieposition publicly to return thanks
Mr. Blaine—No, stop right there one
moment. Massachusetts refused to let
her sobliera march beyond tha bounda
ries of her own State, and refused point
edly to the General Government to re
spond to a call for her troops.
The oulv reply of consequence to this
was the taunt of Hoar that Blaine, by
abusing Massachusetts, was endeavoring
to win the applau.-e and smiles of men
who dislike tier in consequence of her
more recent loyalty.

tempted to imbroil the Federal Govern
ment in their case. They took refuge in
the Custom House, and'bad a guard of
marines from a war vessel in the rivi-r.
But the State Judge didn't scare worth a
cent. He declared the hail forfeited, and
directed the Sheriff to arrest Wells, An
derson. Kenr.er and Cassenave wherever
they could be found. The U. S Marshal
interfered and attempted to arrc-t the
Sheriff. The matter was referred to
Washington, and Attorney General I'ev
ens, a! a late hour on Saturday night, di
rected the Marshal to mind his own busi
ness ar.d regain from any interference
w:th the State authorities. Anderson,
Carscnave and Kennsr were then arretted

he is to be tried fir*t, and then Anderson.

The action of the Washington authorities
was right, and in marked contrast with
what would have been Grant's course in a
similar emergency. He wou'd haTe put

CAPTURING St T LEI MAN'S BAG
GAGE AND DRIVING HIS ARM V
INTO Tilt'. MOUNTAINS.
Goo ecu.. January 24 A Russian official
despatch from Koganita says that a por
lion of Suleiman Pnsha's train, consisting
of 2,fKX) wagons, was captured on the 18tb
instant near Ilrrniaiili, about forty miles
west of Adrinnople. Another despatch
from Keaanlik say* : "From detail* re
ceived by the Russian staff, General
Gourko's victory at I'liillppopolii was
more complete than at first announced.
Suleiman Pnsha's whole army—4o,ooo
strong—was engaged, and finally split in
to two parts. One, commanded by Fund
l'asha, fled into the mountains, and the
other, under .Suleiman Pasha, retreated in
the direction of Uaskot, pursued by Gen
cruls Skobeleft. The Russians captured
ninety-seven guns." Both flections of
tho Turks seem to have reached Drama.

plete with excellent engraving, and very

The use of spectacles made of mica is
advocated by the eminent I)r. Kobn, of
Breslau, to protect the eyes from injury by
solid bodies, and also—mica being a very
bad conductor of huat-—from tho mischief
done to the eyo by prolonged exposure to
haft rays. The same distinguished ocu
list,has invcstigaku.* Uju condition of the
eyes of a number of compositors, and has
made one or two practical suggnstions
which arc worthy of notice. Tha predom*
inant affection of the eye produced in
compositors is short-siglitodness, which
increases with thss length of time the occu
pation is continued. Out of 132 composi
tors whose eyz were examined, sixty
eight were short-sighted, and of these
fifty one had begun the trade with good
eyes. Tho source of the artificial light
with which they worked scouted to bavo
sonio influence in the production of the
deceased tl lite. Thus, of compositors who
woiked with oil lamps, sixty-six per cent,
were short-sighted, while of those who
worked with gas, only fifty per cent, were
affected. The temperature in{ tho neigh
borhood of the eyes, when oil was u(ed,
was about sever.ly-two degrees, and, whan
gas was employed, about seventy-six. Thoj
higher temperature, in the case of gas, was
nodoubt, owing to tho employment of the
naked flame. Dr. Kohn's suggestions
are, that tho flame always bo surrounded
with a glass, so as to diminish the heat;
hat the thud# bo arranged so as to throw
tho light more on tho caso jpss on tho
compositor's ejes ; and that small type* lit
abandoned.
Henry ('roll, of Perry county, who shot
Levi Swartx last fall In a grape vine, mis
taking him for u turkey, was tried and
convicted of involuntary manslaughti r
fined $1 and prosecution, and be
ing too poor to pay the latter was releas
ed from jail. It is rather cheap Justice,:
hut he will carry a heavy load of punish
inent with him for lite.

been decided In New York. In 1872
lielmbold went into bankruptcy, with,
among other a.iota, the right to use bis
name in the manufacture of certain com

purchased this right, and then (ought tc

in favcr of the bankrupt, holding that the
